Grand Theft Auto IV is the masterpiece of our time
« on: May 04, 2008, 03:48:40 AM »
Really, this game is fucking amazing. I've had two friends play for four hours each apiece when they came over for a little bit because the game is so goddamn addictive. But what really sells this for me is the little things, like the radio stations....

If you have an Xbox, you should get this; if you don't, you're an idiot with a PS3. Computers suck.

Loved III at first, then got bored.  Never played any of the expansions... But, yeah, I'll be picking this one up, I think.  As soon as I can clear space off my hard drive.  Goddamned NCIS.

Isn't it out for the PS3 as well?

Yeah, but you're still dumb for buying a PS3.

I should preface that except in England, because Xbox and PS3 price and nearly the exact same; in America you're mostly an idiot.

I haven't checked the prices recently, but when the PS3 first came out it was about £200 ($1500) more expensive than the Xbox 360.

I'll check the prices now.

£200 for an Xbox 360 Premium (wireless, hard-drive etc.) or £280 for an "ELITEXXXZZ))RRZZSS!!!!!11one" Xbox 360. Which is... bigger hard-drive?

£300+ for a PS3.

Not too dissimilar.

I assume we haven't heard from Nubbins because he's been drinking Powerthirst (Kenyans!) and hasn't slept since GTAIV came out.

It'll probably get there but at least a year after it's out for Xbox and PS3. To be honest, PC games don't sell even half as well as console games, so you're pretty much fucked because there's very little profit incentive to go sell it on a platform that easily pirates the game and has a million different specifications and driver issues to bug-troubleshoot, when every single Xbox and PS3 is pretty much the same hardware.
